Lost?

I know this ol’ black guy
Who knew a lot of, life
He had seen some good times
And,taken on the strife.

He would party with us,
Just one of, the boys
Who talked about their “conquests”
And some, about their toys.

He would toss a coaster
At the ledge on top the bar
And at, one time, back then
He reached, and grabbed his star.

One helluva a person
In case you want, to know?
He would fight the currents
Or go, with the flow.

A friend that I call, “Friend!”
One, I’m proud of the fact
‘Cause friends can sometimes
Give you, what you lack.

And in case, you’re wondrin’
Who’d make me feel this way
It’s that great entertainer
His name?  It’s Dobie Gray.

Loved the way you threw in those comma's. Sorta me thing I was stuttering a couple of times. Nice work about a nice and talented guy.
